Man Picks Up Restaurant Tab After Overhearing Diagnosis
A Boston area waiter said he was asked to perform an anonymous act of kindness for a restaurant patron on Tuesday night. The photo he posted as proof is warming hearts across the internet.
Halsey Parkerson ate lunch with his aunt on the South Salem High School campus last week and overheard a demeaning comment about the Junior class student having no friends.
So she contacted her car club on Facebook and asked them to show up the following day and become a force of friendship for the teen.
50 cars arrived, one after another, clogging the parking lot to rally with support.
"It's just unbelievable," Parkerson told KATU. "I now know whenever I get bullied I'll raise my head up and say, ‘Sorry, I have too many friends to think I'm being bullied.'"
When the offending student was approached by Parkerson and his new Facebook chums he immediately recanted, offered a sincere high-five and apology.
